Configure the tag cloud
Administrators can configure the Tag Cloud portlet. You can configure each individual tag cloud portlet instance separately. To do this, use the Edit Shared Settings option from the portlet context menu.
Configure the following options:
Action modesYou can choose between two action modes. Depending on the option that you select, clicking a tag by a user can have to two different results:
Redirect to tag centerIf you have this action mode selected and a user clicks a tag, the portal displays the Tag Center. It shows a list of resources that have been tagged with the tag that the user selected.
Expose public render parameterIf you have this action mode selected and a user clicks a tag, the tag cloud exposes a shared render parameter to which other portlets can react.
Scoping modesSelect the scoping mode for the tag clouds shown to users. You can set scoping either by categories, or by type schemes, or no scoping.
No scopingIf you select this scoping mode, the tag cloud will not be scoped.
Scope by categoriesThis scoping mode scopes the tag cloud by categories that you define. Example categories are books or movies.
Scope by type schemasThis scoping mode scopes the tag cloud by type schemas that you define. For example, for pages and portlets this is usually a URI that begins with the string http:/ .
Use the following entry fields to type categories and type schemas to use as scopes:
Categories to be used as scopesType the categories that you want to make available as scopes. Specify a comma separated list.
Type schemas to be used as scopesType the type schemas that you want to make available as scopes. Specify a comma separated list.
Select from the following pull-down menus to determine which scopes you want to show to users for selection and which scopes you want to preselect for automatic scoping:

Display related tags onlyIf you check this option, the Tag Cloud portlet shows only tags that have been applied to the listed resources, not the tags that are generally most popular. In other words, this option suppresses tags that have not been applied to the listed resources. Checking this option can make it easier for users to find content related to the selected tags.

Maximum number of tags to displaySelect the maximum number of tags that the tag cloud can show to users. This number of tags is shown to users when they place the slider at the maximum position.
Default position of the sliderType a number to define the default position of the slider or other user interface control for scrolling the listed tags. This number also determines how many tags are shown by default.
